14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASO-3]
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Mayport NS Mayport, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment modifies the Class E4 airspace description at
Mayport NS Mayport, FL, to reflect the part time status of the Class E4
airspace. The control tower is not open continuously at Mayport NAS.
Therefore, a reference to effective days and times in the airspace
description is necessary to reflect the part time status of the
airspace. The effective days and times will be continuously published
in the Airport/Facility Directory.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 22, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Benny L. McGlamery, Operations Branch, Air Traffic Division, Federal
Aviation Administration, P.O. Box 20636, Atlanta, Georgia 30320;
telephone (404) 305-5570.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The control tower at Mayport NAS, FL, is not open continuously. The
Class D airspace description for Mayport NS Mayport, FL, reflects the
part time status of the Class D airspace. Since the Class E4 airspace
is an extension to the Class D airspace, the status of the class E4
airspace is the same as the Class D airspace. Therefore, a reference to
days and times must be added to the Class E4 airspace description to
reflect its status as part time. The effective days and times will be
continuously published in the Airport/Facility Directory. This action
will have a positive impact on the users of the airspace in the
vicinity of Mayport NAS by accurately reflecting the part time status
of the airspace. This rule will become effective on the date specified
in the DATES section. Since this action makes a technical amendment to
the Class E4 airspace, which has a positive impact on users of the
airspace in the vicinity of the airport, notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
The Rule
This amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies the Class E4 airspace description at Mayport NS
Mayport, FL, to reflect the part time status of the Class E4 airspace.
The effective days and times will be continuously published in the
Airport/Facility Directory.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
